Outdoor Gear – Camping, Hiking & Adventure Essentials

Australia's great outdoors demands gear that goes the distance. Our outdoor and camping gear range is built for Australian conditions — from alpine campsites in the Snowy Mountains to tropical rainforest tracks in Far North Queensland, remote desert stations in the NT to coastal hike-in hike-out campsites all along the eastern seaboard. Whether you're a weekend car camper or an ultralight multi-day hiker, we stock the camping equipment and outdoor accessories that make every adventure better.

We stock outdoor and adventure gear from brands trusted by serious Australian adventurers: Sea to Summit, Black Diamond, Tatonka, and 360 Degrees — all available with fast Australian delivery and genuine manufacturer warranties.

What's in Our Outdoor Gear Range

Sleeping bags. A quality sleeping bag is the foundation of any camping kit. Our range covers everything from lightweight summer bags for warm-weather camping to four-season expedition bags rated to -10°C and below. We stock down and synthetic fill options — down for ultimate warmth-to-weight ratio, synthetic for reliable performance in damp conditions.

Cooking gear. Eating well in the outdoors doesn't mean carrying heavy kit. Our camping cooking gear range includes ultralight backpacking stoves, compact cooksets, titanium utensils, and collapsible water containers — everything you need to cook a proper meal at camp without weighing down your pack.

Headlamps and torches. Reliable lighting is non-negotiable in the backcountry. Our headlamp range covers everything from lightweight trail-running headlamps to high-output expedition torches with 1000+ lumen output, rechargeable via USB, with red light mode for night vision preservation.

Waterproof gear and dry sacks. Australian weather is unpredictable. Our waterproof gear range includes dry bags, roll-top dry sacks, and waterproof stuff sacks in sizes from 1L (for phones and valuables) to 35L (for clothing and sleeping bags). Essential gear for kayaking, coastal hiking, and wet-weather camping.

Sleeping mats. A good sleeping mat does two things: insulates you from the cold ground and cushions pressure points for a proper night's sleep. We stock self-inflating mats and foam mat options to suit every camping style and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

What outdoor camping gear do I need for Australia?

The essentials for Australian camping are: a sleeping bag rated to local temperatures, a sleeping mat, a cooking stove and cookset, a headlamp with spare batteries, a first aid kit, and water storage or treatment. For bush camping specifically, add a map or GPS device, sun protection, and a reliable waterproof dry sack for electronics and valuables.

What is the best sleeping bag temperature rating for Australia?

It depends on where and when you're camping. Coastal summer camping in Queensland rarely needs anything below +5°C. Alpine camping in the Victorian High Country or Snowy Mountains requires a bag rated to at least -5°C to -10°C. Check the EN13537 comfort rating (not limit rating) on any sleeping bag you buy — that's the temperature at which an average sleeper stays comfortable.

What is the best camping stove for hiking in Australia?

For most Australian hikers, a compact canister stove (like the Soto Amicus or similar) offers the best balance of weight, reliability, and ease of use. They're fast, wind-resistant, and work with widely available isobutane-propane canisters. For extended remote trips where canister gas is unavailable, a multi-fuel stove offers more flexibility.

How do I choose a headlamp for camping?

Look for a minimum output of 200 lumens for general camp use, with a beam that switches between flood (wide area light for camp tasks) and spot (long-distance focused beam for navigating trails). A red light mode preserves night vision and is considerate to others in shared campsites. USB rechargeability is increasingly preferred over disposable batteries for environmental and convenience reasons.
